Seven Weeks Afloat and Ashore. 

After h service of fifteen years as an agent for European 
Steamship Companies, during which time I had booked over 
27,000 persons for voyages between America and the Old 
World without losing a life,^1 concluded I would take a run 
across fur my own pleasure, hoping also to obtain interesting 
information for those who through fear or other causes have 
never ventured this grandest of holiday excursions. I had 
read so much and talked so much of the scenes and people 
beyond the sea that for years the patois of the experienced 
traveler had been my familiar language, but never before had 
opportunity served to bring me into personal contact with the 
delights of an ocean voyage. The convenient season came at 
last in August, 1883, without much preparation. I did not 
take much luggage, it is a mistake to burden oneself with it, 
but I did procure and read up several of the much talked 
about guide books only to forget the contents when they could 
really be of use. It was too much reading and the volumes 
were too bulky to be readily handled when their immediate 
service was required. It seems to me the essentials can be 
given in briefer shape. I will try to do it. 

Sailing from New York I landed at Queenstown, Ireland, and 
went by the way of Cork to Dublin. Thence to Belfast, the 
Giants Causeway, Londonderry and other points on the North 
Coast, spending in all eight days on the “ould sod”. A 
Steamer from Londonderry landed me at Glasgow and thence 
by Balloch Pier with a view of Dunbarton’s old costellated 
rock, Loch Lomond, Inversnaid, Loch Katrine, the Trossachs 
and Sterling to Edinburg, one of the most beautiful cities of 
Europe. Then by Melrose and Carlisle to London, having 
spent only four days in Scotland. A pleasant route from the 
Scottish metropolis to London is by York, where between 
trains the famous “ Minster” can be visited. My stay in Lon-

AFLOAT AND ASHORE. 


don was nine days, then over to Paris by New Haven and Diep¬ 
pe, a week in the gay French Capital and back again to Lon¬ 
don, and down by the way of Leamington and Warwick to 
Liverpool, ready once more for the mighty ocean, this time 
homeward bound. If one lands first at Glasgow , Ireland need 
not be visited, and eight days can be saved with the whole cost 
of the trip reduced to about $250. This whole question of ex¬ 
pense rests entirety with the traveler. A wise way is to con¬ 
tract with a responsible agent for hotel coupons as well as 
steamer and rail tickets. If you journey independently of 
such an arrangement, learn the Cost of lodgings before secur¬ 
ing them. In all parts of England, as well as the Continent, 
the hotels are conducted on what we in America call the Eu¬ 
ropean plan. Hire your room, and you can get your meals 
where you lodge, or at a restaurant, suiting your cuisine to your 
purse. The hotel coupons I have sold have always given satis¬ 
faction, and I found them convenient myself, and all well inform¬ 
ed tourists’ agents give similar reports. Having purchased all 
your necessary traveling tickets and your hotel coupons, you 
know what is the least your expenses will be, and anything 
beyond is a mere matter of personal taste. But these matters 
perhaps may best be spoken of when we arrive on the other 
side. The voyage first. It is useless to recommend any par¬ 
ticular line The voyager is carried safety, comfortably and 
speedily on all. There is some difference in the price of tick¬ 
ets, and this is noted in the following schedule, which show* 
the various accommodations offered the traveler:

PRELIMINARY HINTS, 


11 


A Few More Preliminary Hints. 

In preparing for my journey, of course there were many 
things understood, that, those not familiar with the routine 
or customs of ocean travel may be interested to know. An 
early step, and one really essential, is to determine the time 
that is to be spent, and arrange a route to suit it. A 
thorough understanding on this point prevents much loss 
of time, and adds greatly to the enjoyment. Those w ho 
can not fully make up their minds should apply freely to 
some responsible Steamship Agent, either personally or by 
letter. None will fail to give you good advice and honest 
es imates of cost. If you don’t follow it, no harm Is done, 
but you have gained information. 

Aiter deciding on the line or* streamers to be patronized, 
and the probable time of sailing, berth or stateroom for the 
Atlantic voyage should be at once secured. It is customary 
to pay a deposit of $25 on each bertn retained; this pay¬ 
ment holds the berth up to a week or ten days prior to the 
sailing, at which time the full amount of passage must be 
paid. 

With the rapid'progress made of late years, the obnox¬ 
ious passport system has been discontinued, and passports 
now- -days are scarcely needed by Americ n travelers, ex¬ 
cept or visiting- Spain, Portugal, Russia. Turkey or Egypt. 
Still, there is no harm in being provided with one of these 
documents, as it may be found of use o the purpose of 
personal identification, and may also be n.-eful in obtaining 
admission to vari us prominent buildings in Europe, and in 
claiming letters at post-offices, or registered baggage. The 
passport should always be carried upon the person, not in 
the trunk or valise. 

By applying to me or other agents passports will be ob¬ 
tained at short notice from ihe State Department at Wash¬ 
ington. We have two kinds of blanks specially printed for 
that purpose, namely: for native and for naturalized 
citizens. By act of Congress, approved June 20, 1874, a 
fee of $5 is required to be paid on every passport issued 


12 


PRELIMINARY HINTS. 


from the office of the Secretary of State. The fee for the 
supplying of blanks and to cover postage is fifty cents. A 
passport is good for two years from date, and can be re¬ 
newed at the end of that period on the payment of a fee of 
$5. It requires about three days to obtain a passport from 
the time of application. 

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS IN REGARD TO PASSPORTS. 

“ When the applicant is a native citizen of the United 
States he must transmit his own affidavit of this fact, stat¬ 
ing his age and place of birth, with the affidavit of one 
other citizen of the United States to whom he is pers mally 
known, stating that the declaration made by the applicant 
is true. These affidavits must be attested by a notary pub¬ 
lic, under his signature and seal of office. When there is 
no notary in the place, the affidavits may be made before a 
justice of the peace or other officers authorized to admin¬ 
ister oaths; but if he has no seal his official act must be 
authenticated by certificate of a Court of Record. 

“ A person born abroad, who claims that his father was a 
native citizen of the United States, must sta ein his affida¬ 
vit that his father was born in the United States, has re¬ 
sided therein, and was a citizen of the same at the time of 
the applicant’s birth. This affidavit must be supported by 
that of one other citizen acquainted with the facts. 

“If the applicant be a naturalized citizen, his certificate 
of naturalization must be transmitted for inspection (it will 
be returned with the passport), and he must state in his 
affidavit that he is the identical person described in the cer¬ 
tificate presented.” 

THE QUESTION OF BAGGAGE. 

This is a very important item, to which due consideration 
should be given in undertaking a tour in Europe, as it will 
be found that the rates charged for extra baggage are very 
high, and restrictions as to volume and weight should ther e¬ 
fore be made. 

On transatlantic steamers each passenger is entitled to 
twenty cubic feet. 


PRELIMINARY HINTS. 


13 


Good advice to intending travelers is to take with them 
only what is absolutely necessary, and to provide them¬ 
selves *ith a good, strongly built wooden or leather trunk. 
The best and most convenient size for one person is 
what is known as a cabin trunk, and should be about 26 
inches long by 15 or 18 "ide and 12 or 15 deep. These 
trunks are built so that they will go under a berth, and can 
be purchased from an)' trnnkm'aker (the average height 
under the lower berths on Atlantic steamers is about 15 
inches.) It should have afstrong lock and one or two good 
straps firmly attached. The name of the owner and place 
of residence should be painted upon it. .Ladies will find 
these cabin trunks very convenient, and in case of friends 
traveling together, or married people, one good sized trunk 
may be made servicable for two. Extra large trunks should 
be avoided. A shawl strap v» ill be found very useful. A 
steamer chair, which can be purchased for $2-50, with name 
of owner painted upon it, is a desirable thing to have. At 
your destination it can be left with the steamer agents for 
use on the return voyage. On the day of sailing send your 
baggage to the dock to the care of the baggage master of the 
steamship company. On your own arrival claim it and 
hand over what you need for the voyage to the cabin stew¬ 
ard, w r ho will place it in your stateroom. Baggage that 
will be required is labeled “ wanted,” and that which is to 
go in the hold will be marked “ not wanted.” Should the 
latter be required during the passage, apply to the purser. 
Upon arrival at port Queenstown, Liverpool or Glasgow, 
surplus baggage can be placed in charge of steamer agents, 
who will store it for your return, or at the American Ex¬ 
change, 449 Strand, London, or at branch office, Grand Hotel, 
Liverpool. Extra baggage can be safely stored. Much ex¬ 
pense and trouble may thus be saved by those traveling on 
the Continent who do not require all their baggage with 
them. 

SELECTING THE WARDROBE. 

No rules can be laid down upon this important point, for 
ordinary traits or habits will mainly govern, but some sug- 


14 


PRELIMINARY HINTS. 


gestions will be servicable. For the sea warm clothing is 
indispensable, and old clothes are to be preferred. 

For ladies we would recommend, in addition to hoods, 
shawls and other warm wraps to guard against cold winds, 
a navy-blue or other dark-colored serge or woolen material 
made up plainly, thick underclothing, thick boots with 
rubber soles or overshoes, close-fitting hat or cap with very 
little trimming, and a waterproof or ulster. Thick veils 
are the best medium for protecting the face from sun-burn¬ 
ing, and can be retained on the head more easily than close 
shade-hats. Feathers and flower trimming should be dis¬ 
carded. Valuable, jewelry should be left at home, a single 
plain set, to be worn at dl times, being preferable, as it will 
considerably lessen the care and anxiety of the owner 
while traveling. For use on the Continent, a traveling and 
walking dress and a black silk dress, or some other suitable 
costume for receptions, concerts and all dress occasions, is 
all that is required. A wrapper will be found useful, and 
thick walking boots and a light pair of shoes for dress 
should be provided. 

Gentlemen should select warm clothing for the Atlantic 
voyage, and suits should be modest in color, such as gray 
or navy-blue, in which the wearer can take solid comfort 
without fear of damage by salt water. Overcoats or ulsters 
and rugs will be found invaluable during the prolonged so¬ 
journs upon deck, and will help to encounter cold winds 
without discomfort. Caps or soft hats are preferable to stiff 
or tall ones for deck wear. For traveling on the Continent, 
a traveling suit, in addition to a black suit for receptions 
and other occasions, will be needed. It is often desirable 
to have a dress suit, though not absolutely necessary, as 
they can be hired from hotel waiters and tailors at slight 
expense. A duster, a waterproof coat and an umbrella 
stout enough to serve the purpose of a cane should be 
taken. 

The quantity of underclothing required, either for ladies 
or gentlemen, will depend largely Upon personal habits. 


PRELIMINARY HINTS* 


16 


There should be amply sufficient, however, to last the 
wearer at least a fortnight without suffering inconvenience. 

A traveler’s outfit should also comprise a pocket compass, 
a case with needles, thread, buttons, etc., small scrap-book, 
writing-case, knife, scissors, corkscrew, a package or two of 
address or visiting cards, toilet soap and such other articles 
as are daily called into requisition and may prove useful. 
In preparing for a trip care must betaken to arrange the 
various articles so that they shall be easy of access when 
desired. 

THE TROUBLES OF THE CUSTOM HOUSE. 

People often complain of Custom House regulations, but 
in reality little trouble will be experienced by ordinary 
travelers ; the search is generally a matter of form only, and 
the declaration of anything dutiable will prevent unpleas¬ 
antness- Always be ready with your keys, and help the 
officers in the performance of their duties. Courtesy and 
civility go a long way. Never be in a hurry ; collect your 
packages, open them one by one, and lock one before the 
next is examined. Custom House people can be very disa¬ 
greeable, but courtesy on your part will in most cases re¬ 
ceive the same in return. 

CARING FOR THE WARDROBE. 

There are good facilities for getting washing done at all 
the hotels of Europe at comparatively moderate charges, 
and as the traveler will make frequent halts, a single day, 
and in some cases a single night, will suffice for getting the 
work done. The waiters or chambermaids will, on applica¬ 
tion, furnish printed lists, which should be filled up with 
the number of articles and the day and hour you wish them 
relurned. The clothes should be made up in a bundle and 
delivered to the chambermaid as soon as possible after your 
arrival. 

MONEY AND LETTERS OF CREDIT- 

Before embarking travelers should provide themselves 
with at least £10 English money in sovereigns and shill- 


16 


PRELIMINARY HINTS. 


ings to pay shipboard expenses, and incidental ones upon 
landing. For other expenses take letters of credit or circu¬ 
lar notes or drafts, which will be cashed by any bank 
where you happen to be. Some people take drafts on 
London and cash them there, carrying the money in the 
shape of Bank of England Notes in their pocket- If they 
have the utmost confidence in their pockets, this is not a 
bad way, for a Bank of England Note is good anywhere in 
the world, but it is not a prudent way. A letter of credit 
issued by a banker or a steamship agent is generally taken. 

A MAN Ills OWN DOCTOR. 

Before undertaking a journey it would be well to consult 
one’s attending physician, who may suggest some simple 
remedies to be taken along as a preventive of sickness. 
Ailments while traveling result mainly from change of diet 
and water. While we do not pretend to prescribe for any 
one in particular, among the remedies to be taken may be 
enumerated the following: Quinine, extract of ginger, 
porous and court plaster, ammonia, arnica or some other 
kind of liniment, and a measuring glass for liniments should 
not be omitted. 

HOW TO RECEIVE LETTERS OR TELEGRAMS. 

All Americans who have traveled in Europe appreciate the 
importance of having one central address for mails from the 
United States. Delays arrising from change of route, and 
other unexpected revisions of plans, are thus obviated, a fixed 
address giving to the traveler the advantages of settled head¬ 
quarters for correspondence, messages, etc. The American 
Exchange, London, is unquestionably the best point for estab¬ 
lishing this position. On the direct line of mail service to 
Europe, its postal and telegraph arrangements are superior to 
those of any other institution. Travelers leaving an outline of 
their route of travel, or permanent address, at the American 
Exchange, London, prior to their departure for the Continent, 
can have letters, papers, etc., forwarded to them promptly on 
arrival.

THE SYSTEM OF FEES. 

The system of Pees prevailing in Great Britain and the Con¬ 
tinent it Europe is a great source of annoyance to travelers, 
no: so much from the amount of m -ney involved a- for being 
oc .igec to fee servants, cabmen, guides, etc., in additi *n to the 
regu.ar pay receive’! by them for services rendered. This eus- 
p; m nas existed f_ r years, and will probably continue to exist. 
Tae payment oi fees to hotel servants is entirely optional. The 
caggage porter expects a small fee f r removing baggage. The 
p-orter or door-keeper ext -- ts a fee. and. as you may gel con¬ 
siderable information out of him. there is no objection to this. 
It is necessary also to pay certain fees in order to gain admis¬ 
sion to churenes. galleries and other places. Usually. on the 
Continent, one franc or twenty cents is ample for admitting 
one. two or taree persons.excepting when a special, nxed charge 
is made. Fees are only paid in churches in order to see some 
special chapel or part not thrown open to the public. 

THE LANGUAGES- 

To be able to speak the language of any country you visit is 
no doubt a great advantage, which may save you from many 
of the inconveniences and annoyances incidental to travel in 
foreign lands But one need not remain at home because not a 
linguist. An American who is entirely ignorant of every lan¬ 
guage except his •: wn can travel from one end of Europe to the 
other without encountering any very serious trouble, for the 
reason chat English is spoken by all hotel keepers, waiters, 
guides, at railway stations, and by others with whom the trav¬ 
eler is brought in contact; therefore ignorance of foreign lan¬ 
guages is no longer a t ar to foreign travel. Phras: -book* may 
be found of service, and a few useful phrases and numbers in 
French. German and Italian can be easily learned.

ON BOAED. 


Over tiie Blue Water. 

Now you are safely on board of the vessel that is to be your 
home for a week or more, your state-room has been visited, 
hand satchels placed in their receptacles, wraps hung upon the 
bunks, everything made snug and home-like, steam begins to 
escape, the decks are crowded, the sailors busy with the fasten¬ 
ings, the stevedores place the last bit of cargo in the hold; all 
is excitement; now you are oft' and with what exclamations the 
gathered friends upon the pier-head wave their last farewells. 
As soon as you are fairly away, hunt up the bath room stew¬ 
ard or barber and arrange for your morning salt water bath. 
This is one of the delightful features* of the modern ocean 
steamer. See the purser also and place with him the articles 
of most value, jewelry, etc., which you will have no need for 
during the voyage. Better see your bed room steward to. and if 
you are particular about your place at table see the chief stew¬ 
ard. Perhaps the first few days out you will think it doesn’t 
make any difference where you sit or what you eat. You will 
get over that. See to.it promptly and you will never have op¬ 
portunity to regret previous indifference. Your seat at table 
once assigned, that you will have the voyage through. Though 
to some persons accommodations would seem to be limited on 
ship board, in fact, one can have as much attention as at a first- 
class hotel. If you are sick send for the doctor’; if you are 
on deck and feel chilly call the deck steward to get your wraps; 
your boots will be cleaned in the morning, the barber will 
attend your beard when wanted ; in the smoke room a touch 
of the electric bell will summon a quick heeled attendant to 
satisfy your every want; the steward behind you at your meals 
will be quick to anticipate your want^ ; another will bring an 
earl,y cup of coffee and a biscuit to your room if you wish some 
refreshment before the regular breakfast hour ; but remember 
them all before leaving the ship, it is a time honored custom 
and the acknowledgment will have been fairly earned. If you 
want you can remain in your state-room the entire voyage, but 
you miss the best features of a life at sea. A promenade on 
deck is the best remedy for sea sickness. You will forget all 



ON BOARD.

about the motion of the ship when once interested in the beau¬ 
tiful expanse of rushing waters, the circling horizon, the 
white sails that will ever and anon be seen in the distance, the 
spout of the whale, or the mad hurdle racing of the porpoises. 
Then what an appetite comes, and here is the order of meals: 

Coflee and biscuit early if you wish. 

Breakfast 9 to 10 a. m. 

Lunch 1 to 2 p. m. 

Dinner 6 to 8 p. m. 

Supper 10 p. m. 

If you should want anything between meals send for the 
steward. 

When once you get outside Sandy Hook you begin to take 
observations of your fellow voyagers. Those whose manners 
seem to you agreeable can be spoken to without much cere¬ 
mony, and acquaintances made on steamer are often lasting 
and valuable. Persons booked as cabin passengers have equal 
privileges in the saloon or deck and the various music, smoking 
and other rooms, only one’s state room is private. If you 
have a stranger for a room companion make his acquaintance 
as soon as possible. Mutual consideration will remove all 
awkwardness from the situation. 

THINGS TO DO AND NOT TO DO. 

Don’t speak to the man at the wheel. 

Keep out of the way of the officers, the ropes and the sailors • 
especially don’t get in the way when they are shortening sail 
or bracing the yards. 

Don’t ask too many questions as to why this or that is done. 

Don’t try to go on the bridge; you will not be allowed any 
way, and there is no use in inviting a rebuff. 

Don’t go up and down the companion ladder without a firm 
hold of the rail. 

Don’t go forward or place yourself at the extreme stern when 
a heavy sea is running. 

Keep a firm hold of the rail or some other support in moving 
about the deck when in a heavy sea. The deck will be both

wet and slippery, and a sudden roll will cause an unpleasant 
throw to leeward. 

Don’t call the stewards waiters. They don’t like it and 
won’t like you. 

In heavy weather, especially if you have an upper berth, 
if the rolling of the vessel prevents your sleeping, pack some¬ 
thing in between you and the side board. This will generally 
enable you to lie without rolling, and you can secure sleep. 

Don’t examine the compass with a knowing air, for unless 
you can figure the exact variation it tells you nothing. 

Here is something it is well enough to know:

APPROACHING YOUR DESTINATION. 


Allan —Blue, white and red rockets in succession. 

Bremen —Blue light forward and aft, and two rockets 
simultaneously. 

French— Two rockets forward, and one gun and two 
rockets aft. 

APPROACHING YOUR DESTINATION. 

Have steamed ahead vigorously for eight or nine days, 
sometimes with a bright sun upon the sea, and favoring 
winds, sometimes it may be with fresh gales which toss the 
water into seething masses, wetting the decks and rushing 
off them with the speed of a mill chase, always safely and 
surely drawing nearer and nearer your haven, at last you 
begin to approach the destined land, and every eye looks 
out sharply for the first glimpse of the lofty headlands of 
Ireland- First dim upon the horizon is a cloudlike streak, 
which the experienced officer upon the bridge announces 
as the Irish coast. Soon the “ Fastnet ” comes in view, then 
we who land at Queenstown begin to get everything in 
readiness. First baggage is placed so the Custom’s officers 
can quickly determine you have neither cigars, spirits or 
silver plate, then we bid farewell to our companions de voy¬ 
age. Some of the baggage we send on with the steamer 
marked to the American Exchange in London or Liverpool, 
as to be where we know we will find it on reaching the Met¬ 
ropolis.Other passengers label theirs to Brown & Shipley, or 
Baring Bros-, with the same intention. The first thing to do 
on landing is to see what accommodations you can get for 
return voyage. It is always well to buy an excursion ticket. 
It is good for a year, and if you have planned your tour, 
you will know just when you want to use it. Look at the 
books of the agent, see what room you can get for the time 
decided upon, engage it, and theu present your return cre¬ 
dentials. 

If you land at Liverpool or Glasgow it is just the same. 
You will save annoyance for the future. I am telling of 
Queenstown because I landed there, but the same experi¬ 
ence will teach the same lessons at any other port.

Treading the “ Quid Sod.” 

Queenstown has a population of about 10,000 souls, and 
its harbor is almost unequaled. But the traveler’s best 
course is to get out of this town. If it is pleasant weather, 
and daylight • lien you land, it is a charming sail up the 
river Lee to Cur,.. Some of our passengers will have had a 
sufficiency oi water travel perhaps, and will take the rail¬ 
way or even a jaunting car. Those who wish to go through 
at once to Dublin, London and the North by the way of 
Dublin, will find trains leaving daily at 9 a. m., 11.50 a. m 
and 9 p. m. for Cork, Dublin Kingstown, Holyhead (boat) 
Chester, Crewe, Stafford, Rugby, arriving in London, Euston 
Station, London and North Western Railway, at 6.45 a. m., 
8.00 a. m. and 6-25 p. m. the next day. The fare to London 
is, 1st class, £3 9-6 ; 2d class, £2.12-0. Second class in Eng¬ 
land is comfortable and every way respectable- On the 
b< >at from Kingston to Holyhead, however, stipulate for 
first cabin.

IRELAND. 


CORK. 

Cork is the third largest city in Ireland. It is uivided by 
the river Lee, which is spanned by nine bridges, the two fin¬ 
est of which are St. Patrick’s and St. Finbar’s. The build¬ 
ings of note in the town are St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a really 
fine piece of architecture; the Mansion House, St. Mary’s 
Shandon, with a chime of sweet bells “ which sound so grand 
on,” and the Holy Trinity, founded by Father Matthew. 
The best way to see the town is to engage a jaunting car or a 
cab, making your bargain before you start. It will cost as 
much for one person as for two. The celebrated Blarney 
Castle is about six miles distant from Cork. You can drive 
there for from two to three shillings. 

From Cork to Killarney is about seven hours’ ride by rail. 
Killarney itself is not much of a town. The traveler who 
wishes to see the lakes should take his residence at one of the 
hotels fronting the water, at each of which will be found a 
staff of boatmen, guides and oarmcn, who are all usually civil. 
Tariff of cars:—One horse car, 8d per mile ; carriage and pair 
of horses, Is 8d per mile; ponies, 5s per day. Two oared boat, 
7s. 6d per day; four-oared, 15s; and six-oared, 21s per day. 
Car drivers’ and boatmen’s hire included in the above charges. 
Guides are 3s 6d per day each, and buglers 5s. Boats on the 
lakes, Is, 6d per hour. The Lakes of Killarney are three in 
number—the Upper, the Tore or Middle, and the Lower, with 
their islands and other attractive objects. 

For only one day’s sojourn at Killarney the most compre¬ 
hensive arrangement will be found in taking a jaunting car 
from the hotel to the extreme lower end of the Lower Lake, 
and across the bridge over the Lake to Kate Kearney’s cottage 
and the entrance to the wild Gap of Dunloe; thence Kerry 
ponies with guide (always in readiness there), through the 
Gap by Serpent Lake, and descending to the valley beyond to 
the head of the Upper Lake ; thence by boat (sent up to meet 
with lunch) down the Upper Lake, the'Long Range (includ¬ 
ing the beautiful Meeting of the Waters and Eagle’s Nest 
with the wonderful echo under it), to the old Weir Bridge the

Middle Lake, under Brecken Bridge to the Lower Lake, and 
so homeward by Glena Bay and Cottage, with stops at Innis- 
fallen and Boss Castle (islands), if time will allow.

KILLARNEY TO GALWAY. 

Killarney by rail to Mallow, thence to Limerick Junction 
and Limerick, thence by rail to Ennis, at the head of the broad 
river Fergus, connecting with the Shannon excursions to 
Clare, to Quin Abbey, to the five islands in the Fergus, thence 
by rail to Athenry, important station on the line between Gal¬ 
way and Dublin, and within view of the Connemara Moun¬ 
tains—branch by rail to Tuam—thence by rail to Galway , the 
capital of the West. From Galway charming excursions may 
be made by steamer up Lough Corrib to Cong Caves and 
Cong Abbey, with circuit by public car to Maamand hired car 
to Leenane, thence public car to Clifden Castle and Water¬ 
fall ; and similar conveyance back to Galway, skirting the 
Twelve Pins Mountains, thence by train to Athenry and Bal- 
linasloe, to Athlone, thence by rail to Mullingar , at the head 
of Lough Ennet, and thence by rail to Dublin. 

DUBLIN. 

At last we are in the capital city of Ireland. Dublin, the 
beautiful city, is on the Liffey, but close to the lovely bay 
which bears its name. Sixty miles across the channel is Holy 
Head, and 292 miles away is London. The city is built in a 


















26 


IRELAND. 


circle, three miles in diameter and eleven miles round. A 
beautiful spectacle is presented to the eye of a stranger who 
comes suddenly upon the panorama which opens itself at Car¬ 
lisle bridge. In front is Sackville street, with its fine hotels 
and lofty column in honor of Nelson ; on the left the quays of 
granite, with their handsome balustrade, which bound for sev¬ 
eral miles the dark waters of the Lifley ; on the right, be¬ 
tween the range of lofty roofs, rise thousands of masts, and 
foremost in the sight of the beholder is an admirable building 
with majestic portico, elegant colonnade and towering dome of 
bronze, the famous Custom House. 

Another fine prospect is seen from the heights of Phoenix 
Park. In the midst of a beautiful lawn is the palace of the 
Viceroy. Toward the river the view embraces the heavy 
masses of the did city, with its steeples and towers, with a 
range of mountains in the distance, which enclose as with a 
girdle the county of Dublin. 

Among the public buildings are the Royal Bank of Ireland, 
the Four Courts, the Custom House, the Inns of Court, Post 
Office, Royal Exchange, Trinity College, St. Patrick’s Cathe¬ 
dral, Museum, and most interesting of all, the Castle. The 
hotels are numerous and good; such as the Shelbourne, Gres¬ 
ham and Imperial are to be recommended. To see the city 
get a car, and agreeing upon the price, be driven to all places 
of interest. In Phoenix Park you will surely be shown the 
spot where Cavendish and Burke were assassinated. A walk 
down Sackville street will prove interesting. 

Excursions from Dublin—to Glasnevin Cemeterv, to 
Howth, to Island’s Eye, to Drogheda, to Brag and the Wick- 
lin Mountains, from Bray to Devil’s Glen, the Seven 
Churches and the Vale of Avoca, where the bright waters 
meet; from Bray to Rathnew and the Meeting of the Waters. 

Those who wish to proceed to London, take steamer at 
Kingston for Holy Head by the London and Northwestern 
Railroad, the best equipped and quickest railway in all 
Europe. 

DUBLIN TO BELFAST. 

Belfast is at the head of Belfast Lough, 88 miles northeast 




IRELAND. 


27 


of Dublin. Fast trains run several times during the day. 
Three bridges span the Lagan—Queen's Bridge, on fine stone 
arches , Lagan Bridge and the Ormean Bridge. 

Leaving Dublin for Belfast we pass ISIewry, Dundalk, 
Greenore, Drogheda and the Boyne Waters, and a number of 
small stations. Belfast is a busy city, and looks more like an 
American town than any other in Europe. 

THE PRINCIPAL PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 

Linen Hall, Belfast Bank, Custom House, Post Office, Town 
Hall and Court House. 

OBJECTS OF INTEREST. 

York Street Spinning and Weaving Company, Richardson 
Sons & Owden’s Linen Warehouse, Andrew’s Flax Mill, Mar¬ 
cus Ward & Co.’s Printing and Illuminating Works, Harland 
& Wolff’s Ship Building Yard, Queen’s College, The Acade¬ 
my Schools, Royal Adademical Institution, Presbyterian Col¬ 
lege, in University Square, Museum and Library in College, 
Botanical Gardens by the waterside, School of Design, Albert 
Memorial Clock Tower, 147 feet high. Cave Hill is a basalt 
peak (over chalk), from which a grand view of the town and 
Bay can be obtained; Giant’s Ring, a Druidical altar of much 
interest. 

There are several steamboat connections from Belfast to 
Scotland or England, viz: 

Belfast to Glasgow 1 Scotland. 

“ “ Ardrossan J 

Bdfastto England. 

The shortest sea route between Ireland and Scotland is 
Larne to Stranaer, which occupies about three hours. 

BELFAST TO LONDONDERRY VIA GIANTS’ CAUSEWAY. 

Before proceeding to Londonderry the traveler should go to 
Portrush, and from there go to the Giant’s Causeway—one of 
the very great wonders seen in this mysterious world of ours. 





28 


SCOTLAND. 


Whilst on the spot see the whole number, as follows: the 
Causeway Little, Middle and Great, the Giant’s Causeway, 
Giant’s Organ, Chimney "Tops, the Priest and his Flock, the 
Pleaskin, and the Hen and Chicken. Return to Portrush, and 
in two hours by rail you will be in Londonderry. London¬ 
derry stands on Upper Lough Foyle. 

A splendid view of Derry and its environs is obtained from 
the Cathedral tower. The walls around the city are still in 
good preservation, forming a favorite promenade. 

Persons intending to visit Scotland will find some good 
steamers leaving here at 6 p. m. for Glasgow—time about 12 
hours. 

In Scotland. 

We enter the classic precincts of old Scotland at Glas¬ 
gow, the second city of the British Empire, although Liver¬ 
pool closely contends for this distinction. It is situated on 
the Clyde, and is the scene of the most extensive ship build¬ 
ing in the world- Its lines of ocean steamers plough the 
waters to the furthermost ends of the world, and the two 
extensive passenger lines to New York, the “ Anchor” and 
the “ State,” vie with the Liverpool lines in offering all the 
modern conveniences of ocean travel. The Clyde runs 
through the city, and is spanned by many elegant bridges. 
Argyle street and Buchanan street are magnificent thor¬ 
oughfares. See its Cathedral and Cemetery, the Park and 
the College. Go down the Clyde to the boat workshops, 
where the finest vessels the world has ever seen are built 
and launched almost daily. 

TO EDINBURGH BY THE TROSSACIIS. 

My time was limited, and I am trying to show the reader 
how much I was able to see in a short time. Linger over 
it if you will in your imagination, but we must hurry in 
fact. The most delightful way to go to Edinburgh is by 
Loch Lomond, Loch Katrine, the Trossachs and Stirling, 
which can be done easily in one day. You can go from one 


SCOTLAND. 


29 


city to the other in an hour and a-half by train. We leave 
in the morning by rail for Balloch pier, passing the old town 
of Dumbarton with, its famous rodk and fortress. At Balloch 
we take steamer on Lomond to Inversnaid, passing Ben Lom¬ 
ond, Rob Roy’s Cavern, etc. At Inversnaid a fine coach is 
waiting to convey us to Stronaehlockar, on Loch Katrine, 
down which we sail by steamer past Ellens Isle and the 
scene of the stirring poem of Scott, “ The Lady of the Lake.” 
Near Ihe steamer landing at the foot of the lake is the 
Trossach hotel, and from here a magnificent ride by coach 
through the wild mountainous country to Collander, where 
the train is taken for Stirling. Though we travel quickly 
over this route, the pen lingers. Who that has seen the 
mighty Ben Lomond casting a shadow over miles of the 
limpid water of the lake can ever forget it. Can any one 
passing beneath the wooded slopes that gird beautiful Kat¬ 
rine fail to sing with the poet who drank inspiration from 
every foot of its shores, 

“ Where shall we find in foreign land 

So lone a lake, so sweet a strand?” 

From Balloch to Stirling, it is all consecrated to romance 
and poetry. This day’s journey might well be the single 
object of the voyage from America. But we leave the de¬ 
scriptions to the local guide books, and tell you something of 

STIRLING. 

Stirling is situated on an eminence near the river Forth, 
and bears in its external appearance a considerable resem¬ 
blance to Edinburgh. The most interesting and conspicu¬ 
ous object is the Castle, which was long a favorite abode 
of the Scottish Monarchs. The view from the Cas le com¬ 
prises to the north and east the Ochill Hills and the wind¬ 
ings of the Forth through the fertile Carse of Stirling; to¬ 
wards the west the vale of Monteith, bounded by the High¬ 
land mountains; and the Campsie Hills close the horizon 
to the south. To the east are the town, Abbey Craig, and 
the ruins of Combuskenneth Abbey, the Field of Bannock-

burn, and in a clear day the Castle of Edinburg and 
Arthur’s Seat are seen. 

From Stirling the tourist may visit the Field of Bannock¬ 
burn, 3 miles; Cambuskenneth Abbey by ferry miles, 
and the Wallace Monument 2^ miles; also Castle Campbell 
and Rumbling Bridge 12 miles; also Lake Monteith and 
Aberfoyle- The Golden Lion is a comfortable hotel. 

EDINBURGH, 

The capital of Scotland, called the modern Athens, is one 
of the most beautiful cities of Europe. The city is built 
upon a series of ridges or hills. The first and highest hill, 
crowned by the castle, gradually declines eastward towards 
Holyrood Palace, on which ridge and its slopes is built the 
town of Edinburgh. The second, commencing to the south¬ 
west of the Castle, is of smaller elevation, and runs in a 
south-east line to the foot of Salisbury Crags; while to the 
north again is the third range, upon which nearly all the 
new town is built. The ramparts of the Castle, the Calton 
Hill, and the footpath on Salisbury Crags will be found the 
best points for viewing the city and surrounding country. 
To see Calton Hill , Holyrood Palace , the Castle of Edinburgh , 
hire a conveyance, and make your bargain beforehand. 
Give the first day to them, and on the second, engage a 
conveyance and visit the other places of interest which 
abound in this beautiful city. These are the second 
in importance, viz.: Arthur’s Seat, Salisbury Crags, the 
University, the Parliament House, Nelson Monument, Sir 
Walter Scott Monument, John Knox’s House, Jennie Dean’s 
Cottage, Scott’s House, the Fine Art Galleries, and more 
interesting, the Grass Market, Gray Friar’s Churchyard, 
and the Canongate. Comfortable hotels are the Royal, and 
others on Princes street, and cheaper, but just as good, the 
Cockburn. 

PROM EDINBURGH TO MELROSE. 

Going from Edinburgh in the direction of London, the 
traveler can stop at Melrose, 37 miles, to see the famous 
ruined Abbey, Abbotsford and the home of Sir Walter Scott

3 miles distant, and Dry burg Abbey, 4 miles. Then speed 
onward to Carlisle and cross into England. 

EDINBURGH TO LONDON. 

In traveling from one point to another in England, where 
it is possible to have the service of the London and North¬ 
western railway, by all means take it, as it is the most ex¬ 
peditious and best equipped of all railways in England. 
You can go right through to London in one day, taking a 
day train to view the scenery. If you wish to go the East 
Coast route, you can get an early train from Edinburgh. 
Stop an hour at York. Seethe famous Minster there, and 
taking the next train, still reach London by 7 p- m. York 
and Chester are the two oldest cities in England. The Ro¬ 
man Emperor Constantine died at York. It is worth this 
brief visit, and you break the journey. Leave your bag¬ 
gage with a porter at the station while you drive to the 
Minster. It will be in safe hands. 

London. 

In the great Metropolis of the world at last. There is no 
city like London ; there is no city unlike parts of it. One 
can never get an idea of it from books, however vivid the 
description, you must see it. It lies on both sides of the 
Thames, and extends into four counties,Middlesex, Surrey, 
Kent and Essex. Fourteen miles east and west from Ham¬ 
mersmith bridge to the India docks, and twelve miles north 
and south, closely built, is about the area, and yet outside 
these limits brick and mortar and paved street-* hardly lets 
one feel he has escaped the monster city. Let me say at once 
that the best way to see the city first is to patronize the “bus” 
lines liberally, and after two days, to familiarize yourself 
with the streets, begin to take in the sights in detail. The 
streets themselves will prove as interesting as the vaunted 
places of visit. A reader of fiction sees a familiar name at 
almost every turn of a corner. Dickens and Thackeray, 
Bulwer and Trollope, and a host of minor writers have 




32 


ENGLAND. 


made household words of every thoroughfare. Get a de¬ 
scriptive guide, costing from two pence to a shilling, and a 
small pocket map, study both with dilligence at spare mo¬ 
ments, and you will soon begin to realize the possibilities 
of London. Here is a rough diagram, which always borne 
in mind, will teach the sight-seer his principal localities: 



Intersecting the town lengthwise or from east to w'est, 
are the three great leading thoroughfares at a short dis¬ 
tance from each other, but gradually diverging at their 
western extremity. One begins in the environs, near Black- 
wall, and extends along Commercial Road, Whitechapel, 
Leadenhall street, Cornhill, the Poultry, Cheapside, New¬ 
gate street, Holborn and Oxford street. The second begins 
at London Bridge, and passing through Cannon street en¬ 
ters St. Paul’s Churchyard; thence proceeds down Ludgate 
Hill, along Fleet street and the Charing Cross, where it 
sends a branch off to the left to Whitehall, and another, 
rather to the right, up Cockspur street; this leads forward 
into Pall Mall, sending an offshoot at right angles up Water¬ 
loo Place into Piccadilly, which proceeds westward to Hyde 
Park Corner. These two routes are the main lines to the 
metropolis, and are among the first traversed by strangers. 
The third main route begins at the Bank, and passes through 
the City Road and the New Road to Padington. 





ENGLAND.

I have said that the best way to get an idea of London is 
in omnibus riding. Take the top of the “ bus.” On one 
thing you can fully depend—no one will be taken inside or 
outside if the omnibus has its licensed complement. The 
prices are from two pence to six pence. Just here I will 
give a brief table of English money: One pound can be 
reckoned safely as $5 American money, 20 shillings to the 
pound, 12 pence to the shilling. A shilling is about the 
same as an American quarter, or really 24 cents. A penny 
is 2 cents. The principal streets through which the “bus” 
passes is painted on its exterior. 

The Bank of England and Mansion House are the city cen¬ 
tres for nearly all the omnibusses going east and west along 
the lines between Mile End, White Chipel and Brompton, 
Blackwall and Kensington ; and north and south between Is¬ 
lington and Brixton, Paddington, etc. The other principal 
centres of omnibus traffic are : 

Charing Cross, for all parts of London. 

Angel at Islington, for Highgate, Holloway and St. 
Pancras. Botn street cars and busses. 

Regent Circus, Picadilly; and Regent Circus, Oxford 
Street. 

Tottenham Court Road, for Hampstead, Highgate. 

Gracechurch Street, for vehicles going south to Brixton, 
Clapham, Kensington, etc. 

Royal Exchange, for Walthamstow, Clapton, Hackney, 
Victoria Park and Old Ford.. 

Elephant and Castle, for the southern suburbs, the city 
and the West End. Street cars and busses. 

London Bridge Railway Stations, for all parts of town 
and the railway stations generally. 

The most striking view in the interior of the city is at the 
open central space, where Threadneedle Street, Cornhill, Lom¬ 
bard Street, King William Street, Walbrook, Queen Victoria 
Streep Cheapside and Princess Street radiate in eight different 
directions. Standing by the Wellington Statue, in front of 
the Exchange, the stranger has before him one of the most re- 


34 


ENGLAND. 


markable sights in London. On his right is the Bank of Eng¬ 
land, on his left the Mansion House, while before him lies the 
crowded, famous Cheapside; behind him is the Royal 
Exchange and Cornhill, while on either side streets lead to 
London Bridge and Islington. 

HINTS AND CAUTIONS. 

Don’t try to see too much in one day. Before entering an 
omnibus or street car ask the conductor if the vehicle goes to 
the place you wish to reach. The fare is collected when you 
arrive at the end of your journey, and charged according to 
the distance you have traveled. Do not get out till the vehicle 
stops. Never enter into conversation with men who wish to 
“ show you the way,” offer to sell “smuggled cigars,” or invite 
you to take a glass of ale, or to play a game of skittles. 

If in doubt about the direction of any street or building 
inquire at a respectable shop or of the nearest policeman. 
Avoid crowds, by-ways and poor neighborhoods after dark. 
Look after your watch and chain, and take care of your pock¬ 
ets at the entrance to theatres, exhibitions, churches, and in 
the omnibusses. 

AMERICAN EXCHANGE IN EUROPE. 

The principal place patronized by Americans is situated at 
449 Strand, opposite Charing Cross Railway Station; has read¬ 
ing rooms with all the latest American papers on file, and 
cashes drafts and advances money on any responsible letter of 
credit, and issues letters of credit and drafts on all parts of the 
world. Joseph R. Hawley, U. S. Senator from Connecticut 
and ex-President of the American Centennial, President; and 
Henry E. Gfillig, General Manager. 

One of the notable things of London is its cab system. If 
hired by distance, the charges for a Hansom or four-wheeled 
cab are the same. 


FARES BY DISTANCE. 

. If hired and discharged within a circle of four miles from 
Charing Cross, for a distance of two miles or under, 1 shilling 


ENGLAND. 


85 


25 cents, and for every additional mile or part of a mile, 6d or 

12 cents. 

If hired outside of the four mile circle, no matter where dis¬ 
charged, for the first and every succeeding mile or part of a 
mile, 1 shilling or 25 cents. 

If hired within but discharged outside of the four mile 
circle, for a distance of one mile or under, 1 shilling; for a 
distance of more than one mile, then for every mile within the 
circle 6d, and for every mile or part of a mile outside of the 
circle 1 shilling. 

FARES BY TIME. 

Within the four mile circle, for one hour or less, Hansom, 
2s 6d; four wheeler, 2s: for every additional quarter of an 
hour or less, Hansom, 8d; four wheeler, 6d. 

If hired outside of the four mile circle, wherever dis¬ 
charged, for one hour or less, 2s 6d; if above one hour, then 
for every additional quarter of an hour or less, 8d. 

If hired within but discharged outside the four mile circle, 
the same. 

LUGGAGE. 

For every package carried outside the cab, 2d. 

EXTRA PERSONS. 

When more than two persons ride in a cab, an extra charge 
of 6d is made for every such extra person, unless for a child 
under ten years of age, when the charge is 3d. 

REGULATIONS. 

If the hirer takes a cab by time, he must declare his inten¬ 
tion to the cabman on first entering the cab. Otherwise the 
fare is always reckoned by distance. 

The proprietor of every cab is bound to have distinctly 
painted in his cab a table of fares, together with the number 
of his cab. 

If any dispute should arise, the hirer can require the cab- 
i man to drive to the nearest police court or police station.

Go to the Holborn restaurant to dine some evening from six 
to eight o’clock. It is tabl d’ hote, 3s. 6d.—87c. The sur¬ 
roundings are magnificent. Drop in at the Orieterion res¬ 
taurant some night about eleven o’clock If, during the

corners, about five o’clock some afternoon. All the wealth 
and fashion of England will be displayed in the drive, and 
on Rotten Row. On Sunday try to get an order tor ad¬ 
mittance to the Templar’s Church, or go up to the Foundling 
Hospital, on Gt. Guilford street. Go to see Albert Hall 
whether there is a performance there or not, and Took at 
the Albert Memorial near at hand. If you go to Windsor, 




ENGLAND.

engage a place on the four in hand coach that leaves daily 
from White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly. It is a famous drive, 
and you see Richmond, Bushy Park, Twickenham, etc., on

or h§ar about.

FRANCK. 


France, 

OVER THE CHANNEL TO PARIS. 

London being pretty well seen, and your time limited, you 
are advised to go on directly to Paris. _ _ - 

To reach Paris there are several ways, but the principal 
routes are as follows: 

Via Newhaven and Dieppe. £1 13 0 £1 4 0 

“ Folkestone and Boulogne. 2 16 0 2 2 0 

“ Dover, Calais. 3 0 0 2 3 0 

Time no consideration, but money an object, take the route 
bv Newhaven and Dieppe. The steamers by this route are very 
fine, and exceedingly fast—time for crossing from Newhaven 
to Dieppe, four hours. 

If your intention is to go on directly to Paris, and by New¬ 
haven route, or by one of the three routes, register your 
baggage at the depot of the said company in London, and your 
baggage will then go unmolested until you reach Paris, when 
you can then have it examined by the French Custom Officers. 

By whatever route you may go after being landed on 
French soil you are not many hours in reaching its capital. 
Prior to arriving have your mind fully made up as to what 
hotel you will stop at, and on reaching the city, after securing 
your registered luggage, engage a cabman to drive you to it. 
Settle with him at the hotel. The hotels of Paris are excellent, 
and any person can be suited. One of the best and moderate 
priced houses is the Chatham. The Grand Hotel and Hotel 
Continental are much fancied by Americans. The Hotel Nor¬ 
mandy and Hotel Atheneo are also extensively patronized. At 
all mentioned above English is spoken. There are also com¬ 
fortable bea ding houses where English is spoken, especially 
along the Boulevard Haus-eman. You must stay several days 
in Paris, and you wili want to stay more. Take a cab by the 
hour, and have yourself driven all over the city at first. Here 
is a list of places that may be seen in the course of a week’s 
stay though some of them ought to have a full day to them-

FRENCH CURRENCY. 

A franc is worth 100 centimes (not quite 20 cents), but for 
ready reckoning: 


A Napoleon (20-franc gold piece) is about. $4 oo

An English penny piece and half penny, and French 2-sous 
piece and 1-sou piece are current in either Paris or London as 
equivalents, respectively. 

A FEW HINTS FOR PARIS. 

The flower market at the Madeleine Church should be 
visited. Take a walk along the pavement between the 
booths. The display is very fine. 

Go to the Champs Elysee in the afternoon, and to the 
Bois some time between four and six o’clock p. m. 

If, without ladies, at the Eden Theater, take an entrance 
ticket—3 francs. You will not see much of the perform¬ 
ance, perhaps; but you will see Parisian life. After the 
theater is out, drive to Cafe Americaine for supper. 

The best performance of opera in Paris is at the Theater 
Comique. The Grand Opera House is visited more for the 
building than the performance. 

Unless you have much wealth to leave in Paris don’t go 
to Cafe Bignonor Cafe Ruede l’Paix for a lunch or supper. 

The Duval restaurants are worth visiting, if only to see 
how cheaply a good meal can be served. You can find these 
restaurants all over Paris. 

Sunday is the best day to visit Versailles, especially if it 
is announced that the fountains are to play. 

If there are ladies of the party, a day can be delightfully 
spent at the Au Bon Marche. 

FROM PARIS TO LONDON AND HOME. 

If the traveler has two or three days to spare, and wants

to see more of the Continent than the journey to Paris has 
allowed him, a good way to return to London is to go by 
rail from Paris to Antwerp through Brussels. The expense 
is but little greater than to go direct. At the latter city a 
day can be pleasantly spent, for the Belgian capitol is a 
minature Paris. From Brussels it is twenty-eight miles to 
Antw'erp. Take a morning train, and then spend two or 
three hours at the Antwerp Cathedral where Kubens most 
celebrated picture, “The Descent from the Cross” will be 
found: at the Museum and along the Quays, then the after¬ 
noon boat will land you at Harwich early in the morning, 
and London will be reached an hour later. When landing 
in England from the Continent the Custom officers will 
search for tobacco,cigars and spirits. Take a day for rest in 
London before proceeding to Liverpool or Glasgow for your 
steamer home There was very little to be seen in Liver¬ 
pool, outside of the great docks, the wonders of the world, 
except, perhaps, St- George’s Hall, and I was ready to go to 
the steamer early on the day she sailed. The hotels at 
Liver ool are the Northwestern, the Adelphi, and the 
Grand The latter a new and elegant house near where the 
old “Washington” used to be. One feels quite at ease 
when he treads the deck of the steamer again. It was a 
remembrance of America and home. At Queenstown we 
add largely to the ship’s complement of passengers, for 
many who on going over had proceeded direct to Liver¬ 
pool, took in Ireland on their way back, and caught the 
ship here We had an easy passage of eight days to New 
York without fog, and winds generally favorable, and ex¬ 
actly forty-nine days from the time I set sail for the old 
world I was landed again on the shores of the new, robust 
in health, hearty in spirit, delighted with my vacation, and 
with a purse depleted only to the extent of about $300. 
Could I have gone to Long Branch, or Cape May, or Sara¬ 
toga or the White Mountains the same length of time for 
the same money ? No. My experience at these places has 
taught me, no.
